Just hours before the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention scheduled for Tuesday, the owner of the Rainbow Event Centre has withdrawn permission for the party to use the facility.
According to the ADC, the party had paid all required fees and completed preparations for the event at the venue in Garki Area 8, Abuja. However, the centre’s owner informed the party that he had come under intense pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The owner reportedly warned that if he allowed the ADC to use his facilities, his licence would be revoked.
